Signmee Helping business create COVID Safe environments

This year’s COVID-19 pandemic has created a universal need for businesses and organisations to modify practices to “keep everyone safe”. With little warning and time to prepare, businesses and organisations have needed to act nimbly to comply with new regulations and workforce expectations.

New regulations have resulted in a significant shift to remote working, distance learning and general changes to physical movements within and surrounding workplaces. Movement of people regionally has been restricted, with the introduction of permits, testing and declarations. Site access to schools, care homes and other vulnerable communities has been restricted and modified, in line with new protective guidelines.

What has this meant in a practical sense for business and organisations?

One size fits all - responsive layout vs PDF forms!

As part of our feedback loop and product development, we present random Signmee users with the occasional pop-up asking them if they would like to rate Signmee.

We then prompt the user to indicate why they chose that rating.

This scenario produces many interesting (and often entertaining) responses, some related to our product, whilst others relate to the broader universe...simply beyond our control to fix. Recently we received a rating and comment that stood out. The rating was a satisfying 10 (always nice), but more importantly the comment was as follows:

Thanks Apple, Google and Microsoft for your help…but no thanks!

As a parent, placing lunch orders are a common exercise. My daughter this morning insisted I take a break from making her lunch and enjoy the ease of ordering for her online – made even ‘simpler’ that my Internet browser remembers my login details. In the rush of helping her get ready for school and myself for work, I realised only when we got in the car that I hadn’t placed her lunch order.

As I reached for my laptop, my daughter said “it’s okay mum, I did it myself."

Wait, what? How?

Signmee: Making e-signatures forge-proof with cyber security

Going digital has a huge upside, and electronic signatures are no exception. The paper-process burden of printing, posting, signing, returning, copying, filing and physically storing signed documents is obsolete with new digital options to fill, sign and submit, cutting days to weeks out of administration. The digital way makes it quicker and simpler for businesses, governments, organisations such as schools and medical practices, and those they interact with to validate authorisation. The issue is security and Signmee has the solution: Cipherise.
